Looking for options to put in the bottom portion of the chiminea. I have lemongrass up top. It will be in part sun part shade, and somewhat heat tolerant, as we are in middle Georgia.

I though about citronella, to help with mosquitoes, but something that hangs out a bit more will work too

I would put the lemongrass in its own large 18” pot. I grow one every year in a pot that size because the plant gets big.

I would put coleus and creeping Jenny on top. The Creeping Jenny can cover the clay pot and make it look like a hedge. I would put Supertunias and a Sweet Potato vine on the bottom. The sweet potato vine cascades out. The Supertunias are constant bloomers that will blanket out the open as well. My green sweet potato vine from a year ago is shown. The other photo shows several coleus plants with what looks like a creeping Jenny at the bottom.

The coleus pic is from the internet. I’ve owned those varieties before. They grow well. Only the sweet potato vine pic is mine.

I don’t have any advice but I just wanted to say hi because I grew up in middle GA! I lived there from ages 7-29 ☺️
